So all my prior HTC Android phones, including the HTC One X had a feature inside of the Developer options that you could check that would keep the screen awake while it was either on an AC or USB charging source, including a cradle. I cannot find this option anywhere within the new HTC One from AT&T, anyone know where they hid it? Certainly they would not have removed that function as I see on HTC's site the international versions do in fact mention it within their help section!

Yeah i miss that too. I was like wtf! I flashed Trickdroid and its there. It sadly is not available with Android revolution, which is an international base. I havent ran trickdroid long enough to comment on its stability but so far its good.

I put in a support ticket with HTC, some good that will do I'm sure but in their help they mention it is still an available function but obviously not. My workaround is using StayAwake from the App store. It works great, and the settings stick even after a reboot. The only down side is that it keeps the screen at full brightness when it is awake, and does not slightly dim it one level as the default function always did. I found another app that addresses the brightness but you have to re-run it every reboot and it leaves a little icon in the upper left which I don't care for.

Hey, which StayAwake from Google Play do you use?
I tried StayAwake from Runks, but that does not do the trick for me.
Stay Awake

Try this:
1. Open the settings
2. Click on 'About device'
3. Click on 'Build number' 7 times
4. Go back to settings screen and you will see 'Developer options'. From here you can access the 'Stay Awake' function again.

So I've came across the official HTC flashlight app and figured others would want it also.
Just click on the link below and download. MAKE SURE TO HAVE UNKNOWN SOURCES CHECKED TO BE ABLE TO DOWNLOAD!
Once downloaded just download a file manager from the playstore go to downloads and find it and install.
Works perfectly and has all three brightness settings. Just tap the button on the flashlight and bam your good to go and don't have to be afraid of the dark anymore!
This app is not guaranteed to keep boogie men, monsters, stalkers, serial killers, and other things that go bump in the night away, its simply a flashlight and most it can do is blind those and enable a chance to run away and piss your pants.
Enjoy!!!

For what it's worth, TeslaLED is a free Market alternative that has a Sense-widget, much like the HTC Flashlight of yesteryear. I've found it to be the closest copy (in a good way) to the HTC Flashlight widget I used to love.
Bonus: No intrustive permissions like some flashlight apps;

Why settle for after market flashlights when you can have the official one.

I'm sure when I first used the DK30 it popped up some options including one to auto launch an application however I can't seem to find where this option is. I've checked the user guide but it's rather brief to say the least, unlike the SBH52 I'm getting nothing popping up at the top when the phone is docked. I suspect I'm missing something obvious so would be grateful if someone could point it out to me.
Thanks,
John

If you are using a Sony phone then take a look at the Smartconnect application. Should be pre-installed.

Perfect, that's exactly what I was after - thanks very much. There wasn't anything I wanted to run initially but when I saw Timely was being made available for free it seemed the perfect use for it.
Just while still on the topic, can the notification noise it makes when docking/undocking be turned off? In the settings you can turn off the status bar notification, the on screen notification and the vibration but there's no obvious option for audio.

I went into google now search settings and performed the voice training and enabled the option for hot word detection from lock screen and power off but it doesn't work. the only time it works is when i'm at the home screen UNlocked OR at the google now search area. Screen off or from lock screen detection simply does not work.
does anyone else notice this?
I don't have the nexus 9 but I did install the latest google now search and launcher from apkmirror .com and there was an always listening option in 'hotword detection' in voice settings of the google now. There was also the screen off detection option but it was greyed out. I had the always listening in all apps option enabled and it was working greatly but the next day I woke up and the feature wasn't working so I went into settings and discovered that both of those options had disappeared (not greyed out but freaking disappeared), its some kind of google restriction, they are remotely restricting users from using these features for some unexplained reason.
Maybe its the same for u or it might be something else.
Same here, bit worked arter reboot
It works for a while after a reboot, but eventually stops working after a couple hours.
Looks like a common bug, I've seen some threads about this same issue (and I'm experiencing the same problem, too)
Ok, let's hope Google is on it

think about it...you're in your car, the screen times out and you want to make a call using voice recognition....so you have to unlock the screen and then use the voice recognition... sounds like a dangerous bug to me....serious liability IMHO

I know, but the N4 doesn't support the neccessary hardware for this feature. Only the N6 and N9 does.

when I initially set it up, IT DID WORK....but then after a few hours, days (dunno for sure) it stopped. voice recognition works from google now screen, or the home page fine. something not right somewhere...
Hmm. From locked screen? Strange. Absolutely sure?

there is an option in Google Now -> Settings -> Voice -> OK google detection ....a check box exists here stating:
When Locked
Allow "OK Google" to start a voice search or action from a secure lock screen
so, it would seem that this is what was intended. perhaps what they meant here was that the screen has to be on and not timed out. dunno.
Yes, but screen has to be on. Only nexus 6 and 9 support GN with screen locked and off
Google search from locked screen works for a while and then stops. It's done this on my s4 and note 3. It is defenetly supposed to work from secure lock screen. In Google now settings there is a 3rd check box and you even get a warning stating anyone may be able to unlock your phone.
Google needs to fix this issue. I'm not sure what's up with these companies making screwed up software. Where are the devs, and why are they getting paid if they can't make flawless software. When I crash My car into a tree trying to unlock my phone and I press a law suit against google I'll bet they will fix it. Always takes a law suit to fix ****.
Oh. Anyone notice every app you've ever paid for or downloaded is under my apps "all" what's up with "all" I'll file my documents in my office under the "all" folder and see how quickly I get fired...Thanks for allowing me to rant.

Major issue
Is anyone else having problems with their recent apps not showing up? Today marks the second time that my recent apps has remained empty no matter how many times I pressed the button. The screen was never turned off...it's not the built in task killer. Eventually it will work and show the long list of apps I've used so they weren't killed they just wouldn't show up. Any ideas? You can imagine how frustrating it is not being able to jump between apps.
As a bonus, in my frustration I pressed and held the recent apps button and discovered this phone (EMUI 4) has a split screen which I haven't seen advertised anywhere else. I've actually read complaints about its lack of a slit screen so if there's a tips and tricks forum someone should post that for me.
I don't know the solution for this, but I suggest a factory reset, and thank you for the tip (split screen)

If you enabled developer options, try disabling it and use it for sometime to check on the recents.

Thanks. They are enabled and I also rooted and deleted attentitle. I don't see a connection there but I'm no expert, obviously, as I never would have considered dev options. But that's all I've done after rooting and I'll give this a try.

Looks like this worked. Thanks for the help. Still confused as to why it worked though. Was that a direct side effect of developer options being on or is there a specific setting in dev opt that just needed turned off?
In developer options in last section, there is an option Don't keep activities it might be enabled so.

So after entering in my PIN to get to the Smart Lock settings, there are no options available. I can't added a trusted device, location or voice. It's a blank screen except for a left arrow, "Smart Lock" title, and the three dots in the top right with "How it works" and "Help." Just wondering if it's a problem with my phone or if Nokia removed this feature (which begs the question of why didn't they just remove the whole section, or is that not allowed?).

Thanks for the reply. Looks like it is a bug. Can be (temporarily?) fixed by turning off Smart Lock ( Settings > Security & location > Trust agents), then rebooting the phone, then turning Smart Lock on again.. But someone said that the bug came back after a few days and they had to do the fix again.
I'd post the link to Nokia's community support forum but I'm not allowed.

I'm having the same issue, disabling the trust agent, rebooting, and re-enabling brought it back for a little while. I can't figure out what makes it go away.
A chat in the support app had me boot to Safe Mode but that didn't do anything for me. Nokia Support said they've heard about this one and told me to wait for an update but wouldn't suggest any timing.
I have posted this to the Nokia community forum and so far no one from Nokia has responded beyond say the "solution" is to turn off the trust agent, reboot, turn trust agent on again. I told her that's not a "solution," it's a workaround. Still no real fix. Maybe in Pie?
